jay is on a distinguished road
I am sorry that no one saw this the first time around. Keep an eye on the health of the plant if it trying to flower that much, especially if it had lost most of the roots.

An orchid can flower if extremely stressed or near death so that it can attempt to carry the species on. If the plant is healthy, then enjoy the blooms. If the plant appears to be weak, then cut the spike so the plant can concentrate it's energy on growing new roots and getting stronger.
